After fairing the mold, all bare areas were sprayed with Duratec primer. Then all inside corners were eased with clay to give finished edges a nice radius.

Forum member Dan (34Hatt) built this swim platform mold many years ago. It's cleverly designed to be adaptable to different sizes and shapes of boats. I acquired it about 15 years ago, and have hung on to it through 3 boats and 2 houses. It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally putting it...

Since most of us aren't supposed to be hanging out at the marina with our friends, I thought it might be fun to virtually share a boating project. Anyone (other than Dan) care to guess what I'm up to?

Well, I named my old Shamrock "Bottom Dweller" because it had resided on the bottom of the Connecticut River for a short while. As to Seinfeld, license plates, and proctologists ...

I must have looked suspicious to them last weekend ... or maybe it was "End of the Line" they were after :rolleyes:

Maybe they were following an old Johnson 2-stroke mix chart :rolleyes:

Here's another copy of the test results in case you ever need them again ;-)

A friend sent me this link the other day. Seems a company in Mass is manufacturing new "Boston Whalers" utilizing modern construction methods. For those of you with larger boats, a brand new classic 13 tender would look pretty good on deck. http://www.metanclassiccollections.com/

A friend of mine works up at Electric Boat and sent me the following article. Seems the Navy has actually found a way to save money:rolleyes: http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2017/09/19/navy-using-xbox-controllers-on-submarines.html

These pics were taken in July of 2005. My 34C was one of the first boats in the area to feel the wrath of ethanol. I made it to Block Island for a 1 week vacation. When I started the boat the next day for a short trip ... bent pushrods, stuck valves, etc. I spent the rest of my vactaion...

I have 60' of 1" x 1/4" solid back stainless rub rail that I removed from my previous Hatteras 34C. It was on the boat for 30 years, so it has the gentle patina of being in service for that time. There is a little residual caulking on the back, and a little paint on some of the edges, but...
